Attached is a first draft of a patch to support split debuginfo packages

Second draft patch attached.

This works fine.  Thanks.

I was going to suggest the use of objcopy --compress-debug-sections, but it
appears that does nothing for PE/COFF files at the moment [1] :-(

That bug has been fixed for a while, so how about the attached?

This appears to reduce the disk space used by .dbg files to about 1/3 of the size, so seems worthwhile.
